Bobbi's view might seem unconventional. But to women around the world, it comes as a welcome relief.

Bobbi believes that "makeup is a way for a woman to look and feel like herself, only prettier and more confident." Through Bobbi Brown Cosmetics, Bobbi enables every woman to enhance her unique beauty. With straightforward, easy-to-use cosmetics in timeless hues, all formulated to create a smooth, natural, and healthy appearance.

Bobbi's Beginnings

Even as a young girl, Bobbi was enthralled by makeup. "I remember watching my mother apply her white eye shadow and black liner in her blue gilded bathroom—she was glamorous, but fresh-looking." And as soon as she was able to work, Bobbi raced to the small cosmetics store in town, where she got her first taste of formal training.

Bobbi's education continued at Boston's Emerson College, where she earned a B.F.A. in theatrical makeup. Upon graduation, she moved to New York City to make it as a professional makeup artist. She showed her ever-growing portfolio to anyone who would look at it, slowly built up contacts, and experienced the challenges typical of most freelance makeup artists trying to make it in Manhattan.

But despite the ups and downs, her talent and drive earned her coveted gigs with top magazines, photographers, and models. Bobbi began her collaboration with photographers Bruce Weber, and Arthur Elgort for American Vogue, as well as with the late Francesco Scavullo for Cosmopolitan and Self. A seven-page spread of full-face beauty shots of supermodel Tatiana Patitz—shot by Wayne Maser—also put Bobbi's work front and center.

Bobbi's big breakthrough was her first American Vogue cover. The image was shot by famed photographer Patrick Demarchelier and featured the soon-to-be-supermodel Naomi Campbell, made up by Bobbi Brown. Seven years after arriving to New York City knowing no one, Bobbi was part of the club. The industry took notice.Bobbi's Big Idea

As a successful makeup artist with access to everything in the market, Bobbi found nearly all products looked too artificial, making it impossible to create a gorgeous, no-makeup look.

Ten years into her freelance career, a chance meeting with a chemist at a magazine photo shoot changed everything. "I had the idea to create a lipstick that didn't smell, wasn't dry or greasy, and looked like lips, only better—and I told the chemist about it," she says.

The chemist made the lipstick following Bobbi's unprecedented specifications and the result was Brown Lip Color, a pinky-brown shade. Nine other brown-based lipstick shades followed soon after, and Bobbi’s set of lipsticks was complete.

In 1991, her 10 lipsticks debuted at the Bergdorf Goodman under the name of Bobbi Brown essentials. Bobbi was expecting to sell 100 in a month. She sold 100 within the first day.

The message was clear: Women wanted makeup that was simple, flattering, and wearable.

The Birth of Bobbi Brown Cosmetics

Word spread quickly. Bobbi's unique approach to cosmetics was a long-awaited gift for women who wanted a more natural look. The magazine industry’s most prominent beauty editors got behind Bobbi, and her small, insider brand garnered big time buzz.

The range expanded beyond lipstick. Bobbi's foundations were yellow-based, not pink, revolutionizing face makeup as it’s known today. And, before long, she showed that she was as adept at neutrals as she was at bright and bold colors.

This sea change in the beauty market caught the attention of cosmetics empire Estée Lauder, who bought Bobbi Brown Cosmetics in 1995, just four years after the company’s inception. Today, Bobbi Brown retains creative control of the brand.

Of course, you can always find Bobbi where she began—on the set. Bobbi is still the world's most celebrated makeup artists for personalities and fashion magazines.

For Bobbi, making other people's lives better simply makes sense. "I love helping others because it feels good," she says. On a year-round basis, Bobbi Brown Cosmetics donates generous financial and in-kind support to organizations including Dress for Success and the Jane Addams Vocational High School.

Every time I buy something new, the first thing that comes to my mind is “where would I store it”. With my make-up items soring I started facing a dearth of space. Mr. Husband thinks I have gone mad and make up is my passing fade. Least he knows how engulfed and fascinated I am with anything and everything beautiful!

I searched on the internet and learnt about the Tuckin Storage boxes. Nayasa is an Indian manufacturer and their Tuckins can be bought at ebay and can be checked here. But they would send you the color which is available at the time of the Despatch. Though you can communicate your preference by putting a query to the supplier. And yes, they replied back to me saying that the white colored ones were available. I wanted the ultra tuckins. Difference was the tuckin ones had handles on the breaths and the ultra tuckins had the handles on the lengths. I also called up Nayasa to know about their nearest dealer. Blame my luck, both the numbers provided were out of action.

So yesterday while I was waiting during a gap of 3 hours during my customer meeting I decided to head for lunch to R City Mall. And then I thought of going to the furniture and furnishing shops to check out if I could find any Tuckin Storage Boxes. I first went to the store “Home Center” and didn’t find anything. Then I went to Home Center and found what I wanted.

There was a 3 storey and a 4 storey ones from Neelkamal. I liked the 4 storey ones but the delivery would happen after a week. 3 storey one was available at the store and could be picked immediately. Damn again my impatience, I picked-up the 3 st
